Summary: A Trekker's "must buy"
Review: A fantastic dialogue between two very talented actors - John de Lancie and Leonard Nimoy. The interplay between the two as they bring their Star Trek characters to life is really something to hear. Both actors definitely know their characters innately and the script (it is a scripted dialogue) was very intuitively written and keeps things moving.From Spock's "joke" to Q's standard off-the-cuff and witty banter, the story moves along and weaves through several issues (to include environmental awareness as well as technology) and in the end, the listener is left contemplating their own place in the grand scheme of things. A great selection here. Highly recommended.

Summary: Logic versus omnipotence... and the winner is...
Review: Ever since my initiation into the realm of Trekkie-dom, I've found Spock and Q to be among the most fascinating (doh!) characters to emerge from the Star Trek mythos. Even before this recording ever came out, I'd ofttimes wondered how these two individuals would match up in a battle of wits. But once I heard that two certain 'Trek actors started up an audio drama production company a few years back, I figured it was only logical (doh!) for them to eventually produce a little audio venture involving their Star Trek alter-egos. And sure enough... Alien Voices Productions co-creators Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie once again jump into the roles that have made them pop-culture legends, and have a go at the logic-versus-emotionalism debate in classic radio drama style, with the fate of humanity at stake. Spock has traveled back in time to warn his listeners (this production was recorded in front of a studio audience) about an impending asteroid collision, but Q makes efforts to prevent this intervention, going so far as using the Prime Directive of non-interference that Spock's Federation so reveres. Then there's the main event-Spock attempting to convince a seemingly indifferent Q to take action to prevent the catastrophe. Although the two take many verbal pot shots at each other over the course of the hour-- with Spock using his dry Vulcan logic and Q with his smug sarcasm-- the many retorts and barbs exchanged are more lighthearted than mean-spirited. Despite their positions on the issues, both opponents seem to have a certain degree of respect and even affection for each other. And despite the desperate nature of the situation, the tone of this little standoff is more "all in good fun" than it is grim. Although I felt that DeLancie's portrayal of Q was pretty much dead-on (though at times a bit too dramatic), I found some fault with Nimoy's Spock reprisal. He seemed a bit too emotional at times, and his moments of sarcasm were quite a bit more biting and a lot less reserved, especially when compared to his classic verbal bouts with Dr. McCoy. But despite Spock being somewhat out of character, I rather enjoyed this legendary war of wills. I found its many moments of lighthearted comedy and pitched battles of ideas to make for a very relaxing and thought-provoking hour. 'Late

Summary: Great Actors, Lousy Act
Review: I am a big fan of Q, and I love Vulcans in general and Spock in particular. So I figured that this tape would be a lot of fun with such wondeful actors and characters. And the actors and characters were wonderful - both Nimoy and DeLancie delivered great preformances, absolutely top notch. If that's what you're looking for, buy this tape. But don't expect plot. I shouldn't have, in retrospect, but I did..... instead of a heated, interesting debate, Q and Spock spend Side A of the tape trading insults (Spock: "You are a fathead."), and Side B, where I'd expected an actual "battle of wits" -.... None of the material, by itself, is bad; most of it is very funny. But put together into one hour-long lump with no other content, it gets a bit tedious and leaves me feeling very disappointed.

Summary: StarTrek: Spock vs. Q. an Alien Voices Production
Review: I have just bought this tape and have listened to it about three(3x)times already, and think it is wonderful to quote "Q" or is that Mr.Q?. This is very good and very funny well worth having, I have seen the Alien Voices crew on The SciFi Ch. and would love to see this battle of wits on SciFi, just to see John DeLance's performance as Q as jousts with Spock. This program having been recorded before a Live Audiance helps to make this performance hilarious to say the least ,Both actors are in rare form as thier respective caracters as the engage in a verbal battle of wits (Intelectual vs."Nitwit,Nimcompoop" as in you are). If like Spock and Q get this book in either form(Tape or CD)it's worth it to listen to Spock run rings around Q so to speak. This text refers to the Audio Cassette version.

Summary: What a brilliant idea!
Review: It had to happen eventually. With a company helmed by some of Star Trek¡¯s most famous actors, it¡¯s not surprising that they would bring Star Trek into their catalogue. And why not? What better battle of the minds can you have than the great Ambassador Spock and the omnipotent Q? Two beings of mass intelligence and yet at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum make for some wonderful comedy. What better foil for Q than someone who can¡¯t be annoyed (not much anyway!) and who always has a comeback line, and what better challenge for Spock than someone who has the knowledge of the universe, and the powers to shape it for good if he so chooses. If only he can be persuaded! With a great asteroid hurtling toward Earth, threatening to wipe out everyone on it, Spock must engage in a battle of wits to prevent it without breaking the Prime Directive - or upsetting Q too much. And as the audience present at the recording demonstrate, the duo¡¯s fight to upstage each other has hilarious results. I suspect that while John de Lancie may yet have another Star Trek in him, Alien Voices has provided us with our last opportunity to enjoy Leonard Nimoy as the great Spock, in Spock Vs Q, and its sequel of the same name.

Summary: Spock VS Q! Logic VS Chaos! Who's on First? An Asteroid!
Review: Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie reprise their roles of Spock and Q in this very well written and comical audio performance that has been presented to appreciative fans at Star Trek Conventions around the world. Did you like the Spock VS Bones spats in Classic Star Trek, then you will love Spock VS Q on Audio! What an outlandishly funny take off of the odd couple. Spock is at the logical end of the continuum and Q is at the emotional end. Who will win the battle of the minds? The survival of the puny humans on Earth lies in the balance as the asteroid nears Earth. It made me laugh so hard I couldn't see straight. You will love it! Verbal insults fly profusely. Will Spock out-maneuver the clever and devilish Q in a verbal joust? Spock is really good at games, remember 3D Chess. Will he be able to outwit the all powerful Q? Will Q get an autograph from Spock for his collection, or will he have to stand in a long line like the rest of us? Will Q learn the Vulcan mind meld technique from Spock? Will the asteroids destroy the puny humans on Earth? Well buy the tape or CD and find out. Buy it and play it over and over. I hear new stuff every time I play mine. Don't delay buy your own copy of "Spock VS Q" on audio tape or CD today!

Review: Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie reprise their respective characters of Spock & Q with absolute perfection!!! Yada Yada Yada. When I heard that, I absolutely broke down with laughter.
Even my wife, who is not as big as a fan as I am loved it. I heartily recomend it to everyone who is a Star Trek fan.

Summary: This will releive stress while driving
Review: Spock vs Q, a wonderful meeting of two of the most important characters in the Trek universe. Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie are brilliant as usual in their characters. Who would've thought, a battle of wits between these two. The only way this would've been better is if it had been live on dvd or vhs. Spock vs Q is a great diversion for an hour or so on the highway. Thank you to all involved for this gem that can be listened to over and over.
